Re: Delicious Network for Sale

InterNAP has done the tier-0 marketing dance

So if I buy transit from players like Internap / Opnix & implement a similar system, am I tier-1, tier--1, or the victim of meaningless marketing hype? I'm sure both companies have fabulous and wonderful technologies, however in today's world of democratized terminology, seems to me anyone can be any tier they want to be (man). 'Tier 1' is now about as useful as the those restaurant menu descriptions which helpfully describe the dish in question with an equally otiose 'delicious'. -- Alex Bligh Senior Technology Officer, Europe XO Communications - http://www.xo.com/ (formerly Nextlink Inc, Concentric Network Corporation GX Networks, Xara Networks)
